TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrin expression inhibitor, specifically, an integrin α2β1, α3β1, α5β1, α6β1, αv⊕1, αvβ3 or αvβ5 expression inhibitor. Further it relates to an angiogenesis agent, an anticoagulant, an anticancer agent, a cancer metastasis suppressor, and an agent for treating retinal angiogenesis, diabetic retinopathy, inflammatory diseases, arterial sclerosis, psoriasis and osteoporosis, on the basis of integrin expression inhibitory action.

PRIOR ART

[0002] Integrin structurally consists of a heterodimer in which two types of sub-unit, namely, integrin α and integrin β are associated with each other by non-covalent binding. At least 16 types of α chains and 8 types of β chains have been found. A variety of molecular groups differing in ligand specificity are formed by the combination of these α and β chains and 22 types of integrins have been known. Integrin has a function as cell membrane receptor protein for an adhesive molecule of an animal cell, expresses on a cell membrane and participates in the adhesion between a cell and an extracellular matrix (ECM) or between cells. When the cell adhesive molecule is combined with integrin, a signaling system in a cell starts moving and as a result, not only cell adhesion, but also cell evolution, cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, cytoskeleton orientation, cell migration, histogenesis, cancer infiltration and metastasis, wound healing, blood coagulation and the like operate. It has been known that among these integrins, integrin α2β1 of which the adhesive molecules are collagen and laminin participates in platelet aggregation, cancer infiltration and metastasis (HAYASHI Masao & MIYAMOTO Yasunori, PROTEIN, NUCLEIC ACID, ENZYME, Vol 44, pp130-135, (1999)) and angiogenesis (Donald R. Senger et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94, 13612-13617, (1997)). It has come to be clarified that among these symptoms, the proliferation of cancer is closely related to angiogenesis. In recent years, it has been demonstrated experimentally that an antiangiogenesis agent can inhibit and further reduce proliferative cancer and no resistant cancer is generated in a transplant cancer model and there is shown a correlation between angiogenesis and exacerbations of many solid cancers such as mammary cancer, prostatic cancer, lung cancer and colonic cancer in clinical examinations (T. Boem et al, Nature, 390 (27) 404-407, (1997)). Also, αvβ1 of which the adhesive molecules are fibronectin and vitronectin participates in the adhesion of a cancer cell to a substrate and αvβ3 of which the adhesive molecules are vitronectin and thrombospongin and αvβ5 of which the adhesive molecule is vitronectin participate in angiogenesis, cancer metastasis and the regeneration of bone (Shattil, S. J., Thromb. Haemost., 74, 149-155, (1995), Friedlander M, et al, Sceience, 270, 1500-1502, (1995)). Further, it has been known that α3β1 of which the adhesive molecules are fibronectin, collagen, laminin, laminin 5 and the like, α5β1 of which the adhesive molecule is fibronectin and α6β1 of which the adhesive molecules are laminin and laminin 5 participate in cancer infiltration and metastasis (MATSUURA Nariaki et al., JAPAN CLINIC, Vol 53, pp1643-1647, (1995), OTA Ichiro et al, CLINICAL PATHOLOGY, Vol 45, 528-533, (1997)).

[0003] WO9950249 discloses the antagonist of integrin αvβ3, however there is no suggestion concerning the expression inhibitory action of integrin αvβ3. In JP-A 7-165708 and JP-A 8-231505, the same sulfonamide compound as that used in the present invention is disclosed; however, there is neither description nor hint concerning integrin expression inhibitory action. WO9301182 discloses-anti-tumor agents utilizing a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitive action of a compound having an indole skeleton. These agents are indolylmethylene-2-indolinone compounds, which differ from that of the present invention. WO964016 likewise discloses anti-tumor agents utilizing a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitory action of a compound having an indole skeleton. However, these agents are 2-indolinone-3-methylene derivatives, which differ from that of the present invention.

[0004] An antiangiogenesis agent, an anticancer agent, a cancer metastasis suppressor, an anticoagulant agent, and an agent for treating arterial sclerosis, psoriasis, retinal angiogenesis, diabetic retinopathy or inflammatory diseases on the basis of an integrin expression inhibitory action have not been known so far.

[0005] The present invention provides an agent for treating a disease against which an integrin expression inhibitiory action is effective. Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide an antiangiogenic agent, an anticancer agent, a cancer metastasis suppressor, an anticoagulant, and an agent for treating arterial sclerosis, psoriasis, osteoporosis, retinal angiogenesis, diabetic retinopathy or inflammatory diseases, which comprises, as an active ingredient, a compound having an integrin expression inhibitory action. Another object of the present invention is to provide an integrin expression inhibitor comprising a sulfonamide compound.

Although no particular limitation is imposed on the solvent used in the reaction, it is desirable to use a solvent which dissolves raw materials and does not react with these raw materials with ease. For example, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, benzene, ethyl ether, dichloromethane and dimethylformamide, or a mixed solvent using two or more solvents selected from these solvents may be utilized. Also, in the reaction, in the case where a free acid appears with the progress of the reaction as shown in the case of using a sulfonyl halide, the reaction is preferably run in the presence of a proper deoxidizer. Therefore, the use of a basic solvent such as pyridine is particularly preferable. When a neutral solvent is used, a basic substance such as an alkali carbonate and an organic tertiary amine may be added. It is needless to say that usable solvents are not limited to these exemplified solvents. Although the reaction generally proceeds at room temperature, the raw materials may be cooled or heated according to the need.

[0048] In the case where the amino group or the hydroxyl group is protected in the resulting product, a sulfonamide derivative or sulfonate derivative (I^(a)) having a free hydroxyl group or amino group can be obtained by a usual deprotecting method such as acid treatment, alkali treatment and catalytic reduction, as required.

Although the reaction temperature differs depending on the types of halogenating agent and substrate, it is usually run at −50° C. to 100° C.

Although no particular limitation is imposed on the solvent to be used in the reaction, those which do not react with these materials with ease is desirable, for example pyridine, ethyl ether, benzene, dimethylformamide, carbon tetrachloride, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran, or a mixed solvent of two or more solvents selected from these solvents may be utilized. Although the reaction temperature differs depending on the types of dehydrating agent and substrate, the reaction is usually run at −50° C. to 150° C.

[0055] In the case where the amino group or the hydroxyl group is protected in the resulting product, a sulfonamide derivative or sulfonate derivative (I^(a)) having a free hydroxyl group or amino group can be obtained using a usual deprotecting method such as acid treatment, alkali treatment and catalytic reduction, as required.

[0056] 4) It May be Produced by Reacting a Compound Represented by the Formula (VI^(a)):

[0057] (wherein the Ab^(a) ring represents a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic ring which has a substituent convertible into amino group by reduction and may also have a protected or unprotected substituent; and the Ba^(a) ring, the Ca^(a) ring, W^(a), X^(a), Y^(a) and Z^(a) have the same meanings as above) with a reducing agent. As the substituent convertible into amino group by reduction, nitro group, nitroso group, hydroxyamino group and azo group may be exemplified.

Examples of the leaving group may include a halogen group, methanesulfonyloxy group and p-toluenesulfonyloxy group. Examples of the nucleophilic agent may include amines, alcohols and thiols. In the case of alcohols or thiols, these compounds may have the form of a salt of an alkali metal or the like upon reaction. Although no particular limitation is imposed on the solvent to be used in the reaction, a solvent which dissolves raw materials and does not react with these materials with ease is desirable. For example, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethylformamide or water may be utilized. Although the reaction temperature differs depending on the type of substrate, the reaction is usually run at −50° C. to 150° C.

[0062] In the case where the amino group or the hydroxyl group is protected in the resulting product, a sulfonamide derivative or sulfonate derivative (I^(a)) having a free hydroxyl group or amino group can be obtained by a usual deprotecting method such as acid treatment, alkali treatment and catalytic reduction, as required.

In the case where H—X^(a)— represents an amino group H₂N— in the raw material compound (III^(a)), an H₂N body (III^(a)) can be obtained by reducing the nitro compound by using a nitro group-reducing method which is usually used. Preferable examples of the reducing methods include catalytic reduction using a palladium-carbon catalyst and reduction using a zinc powder-hydrochloric acid. The catalytic reduction may be usually carried out under normal pressure or under pressure in an organic solvent such as methanol, tetrahydrofuran and dimethylformamide.

[0066] In the case where H—X^(a)— means hydroxyl group (HO—) in the raw material compound (III^(a)), a HO compound (III^(a)) can be obtained by diazotizing the above amino compound and then hydrolyzing the resulting product.

Also, in this reaction, in the case where a free acid appears with the progress of the reaction as shown in the case of using a sulfonyl halide, the reaction is preferably run in the presence of a proper deoxidizer. Therefore, the use of a basic solvent such as pyridine is particularly preferable. When a neutral solvent is used, a basic substance such as an alkali carbonate and an organic tertiary amine may be added. It is needless to say that usable solvents are not limited to these exemplified solvents. Although this reaction generally proceeds at room temperature, the raw materials may be cooled or heated according to the need.

(The name of each compound is shown by Synthetic Example number.)

[0100] The effect of the compound of the present invention will be shown below by way of examples of pharmacological experiments.

[0101] It is to be noted that the compound A in the examples of pharmacological experiments indicates the compound obtained in Synthetic Example 1.

EXAMPLE 1

[0102] Integrin Expression Inhibitory Action on a Human Umbilical Venous Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)

[0103] Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) of 5×10⁵ in number were seeded in a 75 cm² cell culture bottle and then cultured using an EGM medium (Sanko Junyaku) at 37° C. in a CO₂ incubator. Then, after 3 hours, the EGM medium was exchanged for the same medium including compound A, which was then cultured for further 48 hours. Next, the cells were collected and washed with a bovine serum albumin-containing phophate buffer solution and the above buffer solution containing various anti-human integrin mouse antibodies was added to the cells and the solution containing cells was allowed to stand at 4° C. for 30 minutes. After washed, FITC connective anti-mouse IgG antibody was added to the cells, which was then allowed to stand for 30 minutes and washed again. Next, the cells were fixed and the amount of antibody connected per cell was measured as the amount of FITC by using a flow cytometer.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 1 described later, the compound A inhibited the expression of integrins α2, α3, α5, α6, αv, β1, β3 and β5 on the surface of the cell in a concentration of 0.05 μg/ml.

EXAMPLE 2

[0105] Integrin Expression Inhibitory Action on a Human Colonic Cancer Cell Line (HCT116-C9)

[0106] The integrin expression inhibitory action of the compound A on the above cells was examined in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 2 described later, the compound A inhibited the expression of integrins α2, α3, α5, α6, β1 and β4 in a concentration of 0.05 μg/ml and in a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml.

EXAMPLE 3

[0108] Integrin Expression Inhibitory Action on a Human Normal Fibroblast Cell Line (WI38)

[0109] The integrin expression inhibitory action of the compound A on the above cells was examined in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0110] As shown in FIG. 3 described later, the compound A having a higher concentration than in Examples 1 and 2 slightly inhibited the expression of integrins α2, α3 and α4, but had no influence on the expression of integrins α1, α5, α6 and β1.

[0111] As mentioned above, it is clear that the compound A inhibits the expression of integrin in endothelial cells and cancer cells but exerts almost no inhibitory action on normal fibroblast cells.

EXAMPLE 4

[0112] Antiangiogenic Effect-1

[0113] The inhibition degree of angiogenesis which was observed when aorta pieces of rat were incubated in collagen was defined as an antiangiogenic effect. That is, the aorta excised from male rat of Sprague-Dawley strain (10-12 weeks age) was washed with a Hanks' solution so that fat tissues around there were removed minutely. The aorta was incised to prepare pieces of 2 mm square and they were allowed to stand in a 24-well plate holding the endothelial cells upside. Then, 500 μl of neutralized Type I collagen (Cell Matrix Type I-A; manufactured by Nitta Gelatin) were poured over each well and allowed to stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes in a clean bench to solidify the gel. After confirming that the gel was solidified, 500 μl of MCDB 131 medium (manufactured by Chlorella Kogyo) were added thereto followed by incubating in a CO₂ incubator (5% CO₂) at37° C. On the next day, the culture medium was exchanged with 500 μl of MCDB 131 medium containing the test compound and the incubation was continued. After three days, the medium was again exchanged with 500 μl of MCDB 131 medium containing the test compound and, at the stage of the 7th day from the initiation of addition of the test compound, numbers of capillaries formed around the aorta were counted under a microscope. The solution containing the test compound was prepared in a three-fold dilution system where 10 μg/ml was the highest concentration.

[0114] Inhibiting rate was calculated from the following formula and 50% inhibiting concentration (IC₅₀) for each test compound was determined.

Inhibiting Rate (%)=(C−T)/C×100

[0115] C: Numbers of capillaries when no compound was added

[0116] T: Numbers of capillaries when a compound was added

[0117] The compound according to the present invention showed an IC₅₀ value of 0.05 to 3 μg/ml.

EXAMPLE 5

[0118] Antiangiogenic Effect-2

[0119] 0.4 ml of type I collagen was added to a 24-well plate and solidified. Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) of 8×10⁴ in number were seeded on the collagen and cultured overnight by using endotherial cells culture solution (Gibco BRL) containing 10 ng/ml EGF and 20 ng/ml bFGF. Next, the supernatant was removed and then 0.4 ml of the same collagen was overlaid. A culture solution containing 1.5 ml of the compound A was further added and the cells were cultured for 4 days. Thereafter, the area of the formed tube was measured quantitatively by image analysis.

[0120] The IC₅₀ of the compound A was 0.12 μg/ml. It was confirmed that an α2 antibody had the same effect, but this effect was not observed in the case of an α5 antibody.

EXAMPLE 6

[0121] Antianigiogenic Effect-3 (in Vivo)

[0122] The above activity was evaluated using a method obtained by improving a mouse air capsule method (Sakamoto et al., Cancer Res., 1, 55-57, 1986) in part. Specifically, a millipore ring (Nippon Millipore) was sealed using a 0.22 μm membrane filter (HAWPO, Nippon Millipore) to form a chamber. 1×10⁷ human colic cancer cell strains (WiDr) which were suspended in a phosphoric acid buffer solution were sealed into the chamber. Next, an air capsule was formed on a subcutaneous site of the backside of a C57 Black female mouse of 6 to 8 weeks age and the foregoing chamber was transplanted to the air capsule. The compound A was orally administered after about 6 hours passed after the transplantation was finished and afterwards administered in sequence once a day for 3 days. The erythrocytes of the mouse that was labeled with ⁵¹Cr was injected from the tail vein 4 days after the chamber was transplanted. After one hour, the skin at the portion which was in contact with the chamber was resected under anesthesia. After the skin was frozen, only the portion which was in contact with the chamber was separated precisely to measure the amount of blood by using γ counter. Then, a value obtained by subtracting the amount of blood measured in the case of the chamber including no cancer cell from the above amount of blood was determined as the amount of angiogenesis. In the experiment, the control groups consisted of 10 mice per group and the compound-administrated groups consisted of 5 mice per group.

[0123] If the results are evaluated by T/C (%): the amount of angiogenesis of the compound-administered groups/the amount of angiogenesis of the vehicle-administered groups×100, the compound A had such an effect as T/C=53% at a dose of 50 mg/kg.

EXAMPLE 7

[0124] Integrin α2 Expression Inhibitory Action on a Human Umbilical Venous Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)

[0125] Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC) of 5×10⁵ in number were seeded in a 75 cm² cell culture bottle and then cultured using an EGM medium (Sanko Junyaku) at 37° C. in a CO₂ incubator. Then, after 3 hours, the EGM medium was exchanged for the same medium including a compound of 0.5 μg/ml, which was then cultured for further 48 hours. Next, the cells were collected and washed with a bovine serum albumin-containing phosphate buffer solution and the above buffer solution containing an anti-human integrin α2 mouse antibody was added thereto and the solution was allowed to stand at 4° C. for 30 minutes. After washed, FITC connective anti-mouse IgG antibody was added to the cells, which was then allowed to stand for 30 minutes and washed again. Next, the cells were fixed and the amount of antibody connected per cell was measured as the amount of FITC by using a flow cytometer. The inhibitory action of each compound is shown by the ratio (%) of the amount of expression to that obtained in the untreated compound. The name of each compound is shown by Synthetic Example number.

[0126] As shown in FIG. 4 described later, each compound inhibited the expression of integrin α2 on the surface of the cell in a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml.
